Thread: processing urls with tsearch2

processing urls with tsearch2

Hey guys,

maybe anyone using tsearch2 could advise on this. With the default installation, url, host and some other tokens are processed with the simple dictionary. Thus term like mywebsite.com gets stored as 'mywebsite.com'. The parser correctly assigns token id of type host to the term, but then the dictionary the terms gets routed through is simple and what gets stored is mywebsite.com

The questions are:

1) is there a dictionary available that I could utilize that will remove .com, .net, .org, etc? I could write one myself, but after seeing some sample dictionary implementations and C code I try to avoid, I got scared a bit.

2) has anyone else dealt with this maybe in a different way?


Thanks for any suggestions and help,

Laimis

Yes, we have dict_regex, which was developed by Sergey Karpov, see details
http://lynx.sao.ru/~karpov/software/postgres_dict_regex.html
It uses pcre library and you need to know perl regexps.

sure, preprocess text using prefered language before passing to ro_tsvector

Any way to install the dictionary without the make? As in is there binary versions of it available? I am running postgresql on windows servers...

Thanks for the advice, for right now I went with the second option of preprocessing the text before passing it to the to_tsquery.

However I would like to see what it would take to get some of the dictionaries available out there to be hooked into the postgres on windows. Does anyone have any pointers or ideas on where I can start to look if I want to compile and add a dictionary to tsearch2 but on windows environment?

Thanks,

Laimis
